Warnings

• Only for lashing, not for lifting

• Only use web lashing if it does not show any signs of damage

• Spread web lashings all-over the whole load

• Web lashings shall not be overloaded

• Web lashings shall never be used when knotted any also shall not be twisted

• Do not dispose any loads on the web lashing

• For ratchet straps, only the maximum hand force of 500 N (50 daN on the label; 1 daN = 1 kg) shall be applied. Mechanical aids such as levers, bars etc. as extensions are not to be used unless they are part of the tensioning device. Soft loop straps are not application to this point.

• Only legibly marked and labelled web lashings shall be used

• The webbing shall be protected against friction, abrasion and damage from loads with sharp edges

• Damage to labels shall be prevented by keeping them away from sharp edges of the load and, if possible, from the load.

• Damage to labels shall be prevented by keeping them away from sharp edges of the load and, if possible, from the load.

• Load must be evenly distributed over the crossbars

• Please refer to your vehicle’s manufacturer handbook for maximum carrying capacity of your vehicle

• When selecting and using the lashing strap, the necessary lashing force, the type of use and the type of load to be lashed must be taken into account.

• The selected lashing strap must be strong and long enough for the intended use.

• Polyester is resistant to mineral acids, but is attacked by alkalis.

• The lashing strap is suitable for use in the temperature range -40 °C to 60 °C.

• A change in ambient temperature during transport may affect the force in the strap. The lashing force must be checked after entering warm regions.

• If there are signs of damage, the lashing strap must be taken out of service, e.g. in case of cracks, cuts, indentations, breaks, deformations, strong signs of wear or if the label of the strap is damaged or blurred.If accidental contact with chemicals occurs, the lashing strap must be taken out of service and the manufacturer or supplier must be consulted.

• Regular visual inspection before and after use is recommended.

• Straps must be protected from friction and abrasion and from damage caused by loads with sharp edges by the use of protective covers and/or edge protectors.

• During loading and unloading attention has to be paid to proximity of any low overhead power lines. Before attempting to unload a unit of load its web lashings shall be released so that it can be lifted freely from the load platform. Release of the web lashing: Care should be taken to ensure that the stability of the load is independent of the lashing equipment and that the release of the web lashing shall not cause the load to fall off the vehicle, thus endangering the personnel. If necessary attach lifting equipment for further transport to the load before releasing the tensioning device in order to prevent accidental falling and/or tilting of the load. This applies as well when using tensioning devices which allow controlled removal. Because of different behaviour and elongation under load conditions, different lashing equipment (e. g. lashing chain and web lashings) shall not be used to lash the same load. Consideration shall also be given to ancillary fittings (components) and lashing devices in the load restraint assembly are compatible with the web lashing.

• The retraction mechanism on automatic tensioning belts must never be opened. If the mechanism housing is damaged, the belts must no longer be used! The mechanism is under high tension. Improper opening can result in serious injury!

Operation of the product

Attaching the lashing strap

1. Hook the S-hook onto the lashing point on the cargo area
2. Press the red button and move the ratchet lever past the green mark (A), then pull the strap out to the desired length
3. If necessary, attach the lashing loop to a suitable point on the object to be secured (not included)
4. Attach the second S-hook to a suitable point on the object to be secured
5. If necessary, apply the edge protection pad (not included)
6. Press the red button and move the ratchet lever past the orange mark (B), then release the red button. Next, move the lever back and forth to securely secure the load

<aside> ❗

CAUTION: The webbing must be at least 50% unwound! Do not press the red button again! Check the tension regularly during transport and retighten if necessary.

</aside>

1. Press the red button and move the ratchet lever to the middle red position (C). The lashing strap is now in “self-tensioning” mode and automatically retightens the load. However, the tension must still be checked regularly during transport.

Loosening the lashing strap

1. Press the red button and move the ratchet lever past the green mark (A). The strap will now loosen.
2. Unhook both S-hooks
3. Press the red button and the strap will automatically retract

<aside> ❗

CAUTION: As soon as the ratchet lock is released by pressing the red button, the tension is released instantly!

Care instructions

Regular care and inspection are essential to ensure the long service life and reliable function of the tension belts. The following measures have proven effective in practice:

Cleaning

• After use, the webbing and metal parts should be cleaned of dirt, dust, and moisture.
• We recommend cleaning with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using aggressive chemicals, solvents, or high-pressure cleaners, as these can damage the material.
• The straps must be allowed to dry completely in the air before being stored. Moisture can cause corrosion on metal parts or mold on the webbing.

Lubrication of moving parts

• Ratchet mechanisms in particular can become sluggish over time due to wear and tear on the moving metal parts.
• In such cases, the mechanical components should be treated with a suitable silicone spray, especially springs, axles, and joints.
• Oils or greases are unsuitable as they attract dust and can cause malfunctions.
• After application, it is recommended to operate the ratchet several times to distribute the lubricant evenly.

Visual inspection and functional check

• Check straps regularly for damage such as cuts, fraying, or chemical effects.
• Check metal parts such as ratchets, clamp locks, and hooks for cracks, rust, or deformation.
• Damaged or heavily worn straps must no longer be used and must be replaced.

Storage

• Store tensioning straps in a dry, clean place protected from UV radiation, chemicals, and extreme temperatures.
• To avoid kinking or permanent deformation, it is recommended to hang them loosely or roll them up.
